Inside the space of the Heavenly Emperor.
The Overlord Emperor exerted all his strength, shaking the very fabric of space, causing the void to tremble and nearly shatter.
Upon seeing the power of the Overlord Emperor, the War Emperor pondered for a moment, then flicked his fingers, causing the void to tremble. Instantly, it became even more condensed, with a hazy divine light flickering within it, capable of bearing the power of the Overlord Emperor.
At the same time, this also blocked outside eyes from prying eyes, making it difficult for others to observe the subsequent battles.
"It's acceptable."
However, faced with the ultimate power of the Overlord Emperor's projection, Cao Ya simply nodded.
Immediately, he extended his finger and gently touched the ground, as if a god had struck, effortlessly shattering all of the Overlord Emperor's power.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The Overlord Emperor staggered back five steps in succession, each step causing the void to shatter and spatial turbulence to surge forth. If it weren't for the War Emperor's power being extinguished, this subspace would have collapsed on the spot, turning into dust and vanishing into nothingness.
"So strong?!" The Emperor of Annihilation was shocked and moved.
He knew Cao Ya was very capable, but he never expected that Cao Ya was capable to such a terrifying degree.
"As expected, my perception was correct," Emperor Zhan Tian sighed.
Zhan Tiandi believed that Cao Ya's strength was at least 200 million cards, no less than his peak strength.
Naturally, the Overlord Emperor, being merely a projection, could not possibly be a match for Cao Ya.
Even at his peak, the Overlord Emperor's combat power did not exceed 100 million calories.
Among the Nine Emperors and Four Sovereigns, only a handful possess a combat power exceeding 100 million kilocalories.
Those with over 200 million calories are only Zhan Tiandi, Tiandi, and Yangshen.
Shuxiang and Ermao were also stunned when they saw this scene.
Especially Shuxiang, as Zhan Tiandi's page, is in fact Zhan Tiandi's disciple. He has reached the level of a pseudo-emperor who has broken through nine levels, and is a powerful figure like a Dao tree. However, he does not show off and outsiders do not know about him.
However, at this moment, he sensed the power contained in Cao Ya's finger, and Shu Xiang's expression changed drastically, greatly shocked.
In a daze, Shuxiang even had the illusion that the Heavenly Emperor Zhan had reappeared.
"Hiss~~" Shuxiang was even more shocked and gasped.
"Wow, that's amazing! No wonder Big Cat praised you as a cat food expert." The second cat meowed, seemingly praising Cao Ya, but actually it was staring intently at Cao Ya, its eyes revealing a look of anticipation.
"This silly cat," Zhan Tiandi chuckled.
"Er Mao, this is for you." Cao Ya shook his head and smiled, taking out a pile of cat food from his own created subsidiary world and giving it to Er Mao.
"Wow, Cao Ya, you're such a good person!" Er Mao cheered excitedly.
Because he has so much knowledge, Cao Ya knows a lot, and food is one of his specialties.
He was quite fond of the blue cat, so he made some cat food as a gift, which he now gave to the second cat.
They're all just cats anyway.
"Cao Ya Dao Ancestor, are you really that strong?! I feel that you're about the same as when you were at your peak, right?" The Overlord Emperor's gaze was intense, and he suddenly sighed, saying, "It's just a pity that I'm not in my true form, otherwise I would definitely challenge you to a fight."
"I can sense it, Ancestor Cao Ya, your physical body is extremely powerful, no less than mine," the Overlord Emperor laughed.
Cao Ya also smiled.
His physical body, after being enhanced by multiple Cao Yas—especially Cao Ya, the [Peerless One], and Cao Ya, the [Yang God], who were all masters of physical cultivation, and although they were also very powerful in other aspects—had reached an extremely high level, comparable to the Overlord Emperor, who was at the pinnacle of physical cultivation, in the [Global Martial Arts] world!
This is the terrifying aspect of his "golden touch"—one person's achievements are limited, but what about ten or a hundred people? When combined, quantitative change will eventually lead to qualitative change!
“If you were the original forms, that would indeed be better,” Cao Ya suddenly sighed softly.
"They're already dead, there's no need to be sad." The Overlord Emperor had just made a sentimental remark, but now he immediately became indifferent and said, "Everyone dies eventually, whether it's sooner or later, it's all the same."
"Besides, we've lived for so many years, that's enough."
"Living like those other guys, barely surviving, is worse than being dead."
The Overlord Emperor laughed heartily; his demeanor and words seemed to be comforting someone.
"Open-minded!" Cao Ya gave a thumbs up.
Beside him, the Heavenly Emperor's face was bitter.
In the beginning, the flaw in the primordial Dao caused a loophole in the world, and the seed might have destroyed the world according to the rules of the unseen. The solution of the War Emperor was that the Nine Emperors, the Four Emperors, and the Heavenly Emperor abandoned their power to fill the loophole.
This plan was too naive. Even though the War Emperor had once pointed his arrow at the emperors, he was destined to fail in the end. He was unable to shoot the arrow, and he was also mindful of past relationships. Among the nine emperors and four emperors, three were his teachers. Forced by them, the War Emperor could not take action and committed suicide.
When the War Emperor died, the Overlord Emperor and the Destroyer Emperor failed to rescue him. In order to avenge the War Emperor, they were surrounded and killed by the emperors and eventually perished together. Their bodies were placed in the Bitter Sea and returned to their origin.
The sea of suffering and the sea of taboos are actually the revelation of the world's flaws.
It can be said that the deaths of the Overlord Emperor and the Destroyer Emperor, as well as the naivety and foolishness of the War Emperor, bear some responsibility.
Of course, the one with the greatest responsibility is the Heavenly Emperor, followed by the various emperors.
If we're going to pin the blame, it doesn't really fall on the Emperor of War.
"If only I had shot that arrow back then..." the War Emperor murmured.
He was a projection, originally without the memories of his original self's final years. But as the heroes entered and his reincarnated self arrived, he not only gave gifts but also learned of the changes in the world, the choices he made in the end, and the consequences of those choices.
Even the War Emperor wasn't sure what he was feeling—regret? No regrets?
"What does the decision of the main body have to do with us?" the Overlord Emperor said indifferently.
"You idiot, you actually have some sense of reason." The Emperor of Annihilation seemed to be looking at you with newfound respect.
"Get lost!" the Overlord Emperor snapped.
"Yes, I was attached to appearances," the War Emperor said, regaining his composure.
“Eight emperors and one king… Heh, the projection of the Heavenly Emperor is probably waiting for his prey to come to him.” Cao Ya’s gaze seemed to pierce through the void, seeing the Heavenly Realm in another space, as well as the projections of those emperors and the seed.
“Everyone has their own calculations,” the War Emperor sighed. “The harmonious heroes of yesteryear, the prosperous and flourishing Heavenly Realm of yesteryear, are all things of the past.”
His tone was wistful, and he still felt a sense of nostalgia for the days when the Heavenly Court ruled the Three Realms, maintaining order, coexisting peacefully, and prospering.
"By the way, Ancestor Cao Ya, what do you want to discuss with us?" Emperor Extinction asked Cao Ya.
He didn't believe that Cao Ya had come here simply to assess their strength and spar with the Overlord Emperor.
Even though Cao Ya's strength was this great, it was still beyond his expectations and unexpected.
"For one thing!" Cao Ya held up one finger.
The War Emperor, the Destroyer Emperor, and the Overlord Emperor all looked over, as did the Book Fragrance. Only the two cats held onto their cat food tightly, though their ears seemed to have quietly perked up.
